Covington Cottage

From Cottage Living

Everything about this new house shouts classic cottage. There's a white picket fence around the front yard, working louvered shutters, and a small porch accented with gingerbread trim. The front corners framing a broad bay window are trimmed with painted scrollwork, and the house is topped with a simple metal roof that's functional and durable. Often, it's these little exterior details that lend a cottage its charm. To up your own home's curb appeal, try adding shutters, window boxes, or decorative ironwork pieces.
